Fluffy pancakes with cheese and ham – a delicacy for any time of the day When it comes to pancakes, we often think of sweet ones, but what if you surprise your taste buds with a savory recipe? Fluffy pancakes with cheese and ham are not only a simple dish but also an excellent choice for a hearty brunch or a quick dinner. Using beer in the batter gives these pancakes a slightly airy texture and an unmistakable flavor that will surely win over everyone around you. Let's embark on a journey into the world of culinary delights! Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 10 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 20 pancakes Necessary ingredients: For the batter: - 500 ml pale beer (choose a beer with a pleasant, balanced taste) - 2 fresh eggs - 200 g flour (or more as needed) - 1 bunch of fresh dill, finely chopped - 1 tablespoon of oil (plus a little for greasing the pan) - A pinch of salt For the filling: - 400 g grated cheese (preferably with small holes) - 300 g ham, diced - 3 hard-boiled eggs, diced - 50 g butter (for greasing the dish) Step-by-step preparation: 1. Preparing the batter In a large bowl, crack the two eggs and add the pale beer. Whisk well with a whisk or fork until the eggs are fully incorporated. Add a pinch of salt and gradually start adding the flour. Continuously mix until you obtain a smooth batter with a consistency similar to sour cream. If necessary, adjust the amount of flour to achieve the desired consistency. Finally, fold in the finely chopped dill and 1 tablespoon of oil. This step will help prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan. 2. Baking the pancakes Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with a little oil. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, forming pancakes about 10-12 cm in diameter. Bake the pancakes until the edges turn golden and bubbles appear on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip them over and bake for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter. 3. Preparing the filling While the pancakes cool, prepare the filling. Grate the cheese, and dice the ham and hard-boiled eggs. Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mixing well to incorporate them. 4. Filling the pancakes Preheat the oven to 180°C. Fill each pancake with the filling mixture, then roll or fold them in half. Place the filled pancakes in a greased baking dish, making sure to place them seam-side down to prevent them from unfolding during baking. 5. Finalizing the dish Bake the pancakes in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns deliciously golden. Serving and suggestions Serve the pancakes hot, straight from the oven. They can be garnished with a little fresh dill or a sour cream sauce for a delicious contrast. These pancakes are perfect alongside a fresh green salad or even as an appetizer on a night with friends. Nutritional benefits These pancakes are rich in protein due to the eggs and cheese, and the ham provides a good source of iron and vitamins. Using beer in the batter not only adds a special flavor but also helps create a slightly fluffy texture, making these pancakes an excellent choice for a satisfying meal. Possible variations - For a vegetarian option, replace the ham with sautéed mushrooms or grilled vegetables. - You can add spices like black pepper or sweet paprika to the batter for an extra flavor boost. - Experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, to vary the taste. Frequently asked questions 1. Can I use another type of beer? Yes, you can experiment with different types of beer, but make sure to choose one that has a pleasant taste. More bitter beers may affect the final flavor of the pancakes. 2. How can I store leftover pancakes? The pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator in airtight containers for 2-3 days. You can reheat them in the oven or on the stovetop. 3. What can I serve alongside the pancakes? These pancakes pair perfectly with a fresh green salad or a garlic yogurt sauce. For an extra touch of flavor, you can accompany them with a glass of cold beer or a light white wine. These fluffy pancakes with cheese and ham are not only a delicious dish but also an excellent way to bring family and friends together around the table. Try this simple recipe and enjoy every bite! Bon appétit!
